Turkish giants Fenerbahce are plotting a move for Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo, who is reportedly keen to leave Old Trafford on a season-long loan deal, according to a report on Sport Witness.
Rojo has fallen down the pecking order at United and knows that he will be given limited playing time under Jose Mourinho this season, especially if Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof can keep themselves fit and healthy.
The Argentine has become the fifth choice central defender, behind Phil Jones and Chris Smalling and he is eager to gain playing time on a weekly basis, which is something that Fenerbahce can give him.
The Turkish club is currently in a defensive crisis and is desperate to add an experienced defender to their squad before their transfer window slams shut at the end of this month.
However, after United failed to recruit any new centre-backs over the summer, Mourinho may be hesitant in letting Rojo leave the club.
Fenerbahce are expected to contact the Red Devils soon about Rojo’s availability and they are hoping that the defender, who can also operate in left-back, is allowed to leave on loan.
